Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9002952A1] According to a process for evaluating the output signals of a sensor (10) sensitive to acceleration in passenger restraining systems of vehicles, the output signals (Sa) of the sensor (10) are periodically acquired and evaluated. In a normal, uncritical state of operation the evaluation is effected after relatively long time intervals (T). When signs indicate a critical state of operation, i.e. an accident, the output signals (Sa) of the sensor (10) are evaluated at shorter intervals (T').
